Relationships
Build Healthier, More Fulfilling Connections.
Relationships are at the heart of our lives—whether with romantic partners, friends, family, or ourselves. When those connections feel strained, confusing, or unbalanced, it can impact every area of your well-being.
At Soundview Therapy Center, I help clients explore the patterns, challenges, and emotions that come up in relationships. Together, we work toward healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and deeper self-understanding, so your connections can feel supportive rather than draining.
Why Relationships Can Feel So Hard
It’s common to struggle in relationships, especially if you’ve experienced:
Low self-esteem or self-doubt that shows up with partners or friends
Perfectionism or people-pleasing that leaves you feeling drained
Fear of conflict or abandonment that makes it hard to set boundaries
Repeating patterns of unhealthy or unfulfilling relationships
Difficulty trusting yourself when it comes to what you need
Sometimes we think the solution is to “fix” ourselves or try harder to make the other person happy. But true change comes from understanding your patterns, getting curious about where they come from, and learning new ways of relating.
My Approach to Relationship Work
I bring an integrative style that combines talk therapy, mindfulness, and body-based work to help you go beyond surface-level advice and create real, lasting change. Our sessions aren’t about blaming or shaming—they’re about helping you show up in relationships with more authenticity, confidence, and clarity.
This work can be especially powerful if you’ve noticed how anxiety, past trauma, or self-esteem struggles show up in your relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to untangle these patterns and begin creating connections that truly reflect your needs and values.
With the right support, relationships can feel less like a source of stress and more like a place of connection. You can learn to:
Trust yourself in love, friendship, and family dynamics
Speak up for your needs without fear of rejection
Break free from old patterns that no longer serve you
Experience intimacy, trust, and connection in ways that feel safe and fulfilling
Take the First Step
If your relationships feel overwhelming, complicated, or stuck, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Relationship-focused therapy can help you create healthier patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and build the kind of connections you deeply want and deserve.
